That's a daft take. The reason that software now requires more RAM is because it can do more than in 1998.

That doesn't excuse the ridiculously high requirements.

Yeah it does because no one in 2024 expects those limitations to exist. You can find software that can run on 15mb of ram but what's the point when 99% of systems won't have that limitation?
